Paolo Nutini. Who?? P A O L O N U T I N I. Hmmm…
A little less than two years ago at my place: a friend connected his iPod to my stereo and started playing Paolo Nutini’s album “These Streets“. I was immediately impressed by this young Scottish man’s expressive and unique voice. I downloaded the CD and it became one of those albums that you never get sick of, no matter how many times you listen to it.
Even in Switzerland, at least before I came to San Diego, Nutini wasn’t too well known, though a couple of his singles were regularly being played on the radio (Last Request, Rewind, New Shoes).
Then, thanks to Facebook’s iLike, I received a notification that he would be playing at Hard Rock Cafe’s 10th Anniversary. I had to go!
I was kind of surprised that Hard Rock Cafe would have a relatively unknown artist perform on their 10th Anniversary, but of course I was thrilled about their choice!
And I didn’t leave disappointed: it was a great concert!
When we saw one of the band members drinking wine on stage in the middle of a song
, my American friend noticed: That’s how you tell they’re European!
Well, it was nice to see a little bit of European flair at a very American Hard Rock Cafe.
